Connecting A Strobe Device - Omron F250 Vision Sensor Setup Manual

Connecting a Strobe Device

Use the camera's corresponding strobe trigger output signal (STGOUT0 to STGOUT3) to control the
strobe flash timing.
p.38, p.39
Check the strobe device's specifications and set the appropriate "Shutter trigger polarity" and "Shutter
trigger width" in the Camera settings (Detail) Menu.The Camera settings (Detail) window is displayed at
startup and can be displayed at other times by selecting Camera settings from the System Menu.

Shutter trigger width
The "shutter trigger width" setting determines the
pulse width W.
Can be set to match the strobe's specifications.
When using a Double-speed Camera:
W = Shutter trigger width setting (H) × 32 µs
(1H = 32 µs)
When using a Camera other than a Double-speed
Camera:
W = Shutter trigger width setting (H) × 63 µs
(1H = 63 µs)
Note: Depending upon the timing, W may have an
error of up to 1H.
